Exodus 10
1 The LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs among them;
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «امْثُلْ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ لأَنَّنِي قَدْ قَسَّيْتُ قَلْبَهُ وَقُلُوبَ حَاشِيَتِهِ لِكَيْ أُجْرِيَ آيَاتِي هَذِهِ بَيْنَهُمْ، | ١ |
2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am the LORD.”
| لِكَيْ تُخْبِرَ فِي مَسَامِعِ بَنِيكَ وَأَحْفَادِكَ عَمَّا ابْتَلَيْتُ بِهِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ وَبِآيَاتِي الَّتِي أَجْرَيْتُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ». | ٢ |
3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, “This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.
| فَمَثَلَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَالا لَهُ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ الْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ: إِلَى مَتَى تَأْبَى أَنْ تَخْضَعَ لِي؟ أَطْلِقْ شَعْبِي لِيَعْبُدَنِي. | ٣ |
4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,
| وَإذَا أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُطْلِقَ شَعْبِي، فَهَا أَنَا أَجْلِبُ غَداً الْجَرَادَ عَلَى تُخُومِكَ، | ٤ |
5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one will not be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.
| فَيُغَطِّي وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ، فَيَعْسُرُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ أَنْ يَرَاهَا، وَيَلْتَهِمُ الْبَقِيَّةَ الْمُتَخَلِّفَةَ لَكُمْ عَنِ الْبَرَدِ، وَكُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ نَابِتَةٍ لَكُمْ فِي الْحَقْلِ، | ٥ |
6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
| وَيَمْلأُ بُيُوتَكَ وَبُيُوتَ حَاشِيَتِكَ وَبُيُوتَ جَمِيعِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ، الأَمْرُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَشْهَدْ مِثْلَهُ آبَاؤُكَ وَلا أَجْدَادُكَ مُنْذُ أَنِ اسْتَوْطَنُوا هَذِهِ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الآنَ». ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ وَانْصَرَفَ مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٦ |
7 Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD, their God. Do not you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”
| فَقَالَتْ حَاشِيَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ لَهُ: «إِلَى مَتَى يَظَلُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ شَرَكاً لَنَا؟ أَطْلِقِ الشَّعْبَ لِيَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ. أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ مِصْرَ قَدْ عَمَّهَا الْخَرَابُ؟» | ٧ |
8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve the LORD your God; but who are those who will go?”
| فَاسْتُدْعِيَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ ثَانِيَةً لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمَا: «امْضُوا وَاعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ سَيَذْهَبُونَ؟» | ٨ |
9 Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old. We will go with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds; for we must hold a feast to the LORD.”
| فَأَجَابَ مُوسَى: «نَذْهَبُ بِفِتْيَانِنَا وَشُيُوخِنَا. نَذْهَبُ بِبَنِينَا وَبَنَاتِنَا، بِمَوَاشِينَا وَقُطْعَانِنَا لأَنَّهُ يَجِبُ أَنْ نُقِيمَ عِيداً لِلرَّبِّ». | ٩ |
10 He said to them, “The LORD be with you if I let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.
| فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ: «لِيَكُنِ الرَّبُّ بِعَوْنِكُمْ إنْ أَنَا أَطْلَقْتُكُمْ مَعَ نِسَائِكُمْ وَأَوْلادِكُمْ. فَمِنَ الْجَلِيِّ أَنَّكُمْ عَازِمُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ. | ١٠ |
11 Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve the LORD; for that is what you desire!” Then they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
| لا، فَلْيَمْضِ الرِّجَالُ فَقَطْ لِعِبَادَةِ الرَّبِّ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ مَا تَطْلُبُونَهُ». ثُمَّ طُرِدَا مِنْ حَضْرَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ١١ |
12 The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِتُبْتَلَى بِالجَّرَادِ، فَيُغَطِّي بِلادَ مِصْرَ وَيَلْتَهِمَ كُلَّ نَبَاتِ الأَرْضِ الْمُتَخَلِّفِ عَنِ الْبَرَدِ». | ١٢ |
13 Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
| فَمَدَّ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ عَلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً شَرْقِيَّةً طَوَالَ ذَلِكَ النَّهَارِ وَاللَّيْلِ، وَمَا إِنْ أَقْبَلَ الصَّبَاحُ حَتَّى حَمَلَتِ الرِّيحُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ الْجَرَادَ. | ١٣ |
14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, nor will there ever be again.
| فَانْتَشَرَ الْجَرَادُ فِي كُلِّ بِلادِ مِصْرَ، وَحَلَّ فِي جَمِيعِ تُخُومِهَا بِأَسْرَابٍ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ نَظِيرٌ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَنْ يَحْدُثَ مِثْلُهُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ. | ١٤ |
15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
| فَقَدْ غَطَّى وَجْهَ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَظْلَمَتْ، وَالْتَهَمَ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ فِيهَا وَكُلَّ أَثْمَارِ الأَشْجَارِ الَّتِي خَلَّفَهَا الْبَرَدُ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ أَخْضَرُ لَا عَلَى الأَشْجَارِ وَلا فِي حُقُولِ الْمَزْرُوعَاتِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ. | ١٥ |
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَسْرَعَ فِرْعَوْنُ فَاسْتَدْعَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ قَائِلاً: «لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَإِلَيْكُمَا. | ١٦ |
17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to the LORD your God, that he may also take away from me this death.”
| فَاصْفَحَا هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَابْتَهِلا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمَا كَيْ يُزِيلَ عَنِّي هَذَا الْبَلاءَ الْمُمِيتَ». | ١٧ |
18 Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to the LORD.
| فَانْصَرَفَ مُوسَى مِنْ لَدُنْ فِرْعَوْنَ وَابْتَهَلَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، | ١٨ |
19 The LORD sent an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.
| فَأَرْسَلَ الرَّبُّ رِيحاً غَرْبِيَّةً عَاصِفَةً حَمَلَتِ الْجَرَادَ وَطَرَحَتْهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ، فَلَمْ تَبْقَ جَرَادَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي جَمِيعِ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ. | ١٩ |
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ صَلَّبَ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٠ |
21 The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَيَطْغَى ظَلامٌ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى يَكَادَ يُلْمَسُ لِكَثَافَتِهِ». | ٢١ |
22 Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
| فَبَسَطَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، فَطَغَى ظَلامٌ كَثِيفٌ عَلَى كُلِّ أَرْجَاءِ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِمُدَّةِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ. | ٢٢ |
23 They did not see one another, and nobody rose from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
| فَلَمْ يَتَمَكَّنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَرَى أَخَاهُ، وَلا غَادَرَ أَحَدٌ مَكَانَهُ طَوَالَ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ. غَيْرَ أَنَّ النُّورَ كَانَ يَغْمُرُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أَمَاكِنِ إِقَامَتِهِمْ. | ٢٣ |
24 Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, “Go, serve the LORD. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also go with you.”
| فَاسْتَدْعَى فِرْعَوْنُ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «اذْهَبُوا وَاعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ، وَلَكِنِ اتْرُكُوا وَرَاءَكُمْ مَاشِيَتَكُمْ وَقُطْعَانَكُمْ: أَمَّا صِغَارُكُمْ فَلْيَمْضُوا مَعَكُمْ أَيْضاً». | ٢٤ |
25 Moses said, “You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَسْمَحَ لَنَا بِأَخْذِ ذَبَائِحَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ لِنُقَدِّمَهَا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا. | ٢٥ |
26 Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve the LORD our God; and we do not know with what we must serve the LORD, until we come there.”
| لِذَلِكَ تَذْهَبُ مَوَاشِينَا مَعْنَا أَيْضاً، فَلا يَبْقَى مِنْهَا ظِلْفٌ وَاحِدٌ، لأَنَّ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَخْتَارَ مِنْهَا لِعِبَادَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا، وَلا يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَعْرِفَ مَاذَا نَخْتَارُ مِنْهَا لِنَعْبُدَ الرَّبَّ حَتَّى نَصِلَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ». | ٢٦ |
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ صَلَّبَ قَلْبَ فِرْعَوْنَ فَلَمْ يُطْلِقْ سَرَاحَهُمْ. | ٢٧ |
28 Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!”
| وَقَالَ لَهُ فِرْعَوْنُ: «اذْهَبْ عَنِّي، وَاحْذَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ. لَا تَمْثُلْ أَمَامِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، فَيَوْمَ تَرَى وَجْهِي تَمُوتُ». | ٢٨ |
29 Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more.”
| فَقَالَ مُوسَى: «حَسَناً قُلْتَ، فَأَنَا لَنْ أَرَى وَجْهَكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى». | ٢٩ |
